Book Description

Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it
s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You
might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of
its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry,
technical stuff you're forced to study.
The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching,
scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all,
that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all
the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background
so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things
that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the
creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a
hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain?
Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge.
That's how your brain knows.
And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java
combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching
interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different
ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its
playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete
introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn
everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including
threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And
the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of
the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a
major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even
more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the
Head First way is more important than ever.
If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a
visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you
haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's
unlike any other Java book you've ever read.
By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java
compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex
information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need
to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java
programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if
you want to understand Java, this book's for you.
